fix-issue

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI may ask user whether to skip.

Prerequisites: MUST READ .claude/skills/shared/understand-code-first-protocol.md AND .claude/skills/shared/evidence-based-reasoning-protocol.md before executing.

Skill Variant: Variant of /fix — debug and fix GitHub issues with systematic investigation.

Quick Summary

Goal: Investigate and fix bugs reported as GitHub issues with full traceability.

Workflow:

1. Fetch — Read GitHub issue details (title, description, reproduction steps)
2. Reproduce — Trace the reported behavior in code
3. Fix — Apply fix with root cause evidence

Key Rules:

• Debug Mindset: every claim needs file:line evidence
• Link fix back to the GitHub issue for traceability
• Verify fix addresses the specific reproduction steps from the issue

$ARGUMENTS

Debug Mindset (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking. Every claim needs traced proof.

• Do NOT assume the first hypothesis is correct — verify with actual code traces
• Every root cause claim must include file:line evidence
• If you cannot prove a root cause with a code trace, state "hypothesis, not confirmed"
• Question assumptions: "Is this really the cause?" → trace the actual execution path
• Challenge completeness: "Are there other contributing factors?" → check related code paths
• No "should fix it" without proof — verify the fix addresses the traced root cause

⚠️ MANDATORY: Confidence & Evidence Gate

MUST declare Confidence: X% with evidence list + file:line proof for EVERY claim. 95%+ recommend freely | 80-94% with caveats | 60-79% list unknowns | <60% STOP — gather more evidence.

Activate debug skill and follow its workflow.

IMPORTANT: Always use external memory at .ai/workspace/analysis/issue-[number].analysis.md for structured analysis. Re-read ENTIRE analysis file before proposing any fix — this prevents knowledge loss.

DO NOT make any code changes without explicit user approval. Present analysis and proposed fix, then wait for approval before implementing.

See .ai/docs/AI-DEBUGGING-PROTOCOL.md for comprehensive guidelines.

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)

• Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks
• Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
